Well a couple of them are making their UFC debut's (Dwyer & Irish Dragon) and a bunch are from TUF Nations Canada vs. Australia (Theodorou & Laprise were the winners as well as Aubin-Mercier & Taleb). And Saggo if from nearby PEI so there is a lot of local flare for this show.

The Tiger Man - It's the equivalent of a WWF house show. Locals and newbies with a few names mixed in. But enough for that market to have a sellout

This is exactly how Zuffa needs to do some of those smaller shows though. Sure it won't pull stellar numbers, but it leaves decent fights for 178-180 And plus, you get to watch Paige fight, that's worth the price of admission

WTF do you people want? How do think they should build future stars? Like it or not the old guard is fading out and they need to build new stars. The best way to do that is put young up and comers on free TV and hope a few of them put on show, and be a recognizable name next time they fight.

You can't " build stars" by having 2 nobodies fight eachother. You can't push into new markets by putting on fights that the local amatuer mma scene are capable of putting on.

This thowing shit against the wall, hoping something will stick approach is a double edged sword. How many potential fans are turned away by shit fights as opposed to the few that stay?
